Crack Climb
This crag is based next to the large waterfall coming out the River Gorge climbing area. The crag faces north west so is advised to climb in the morning. There are two trad routes with unknown abseil points.

Approach
To reach the start of the route, most the routes require an abseil down. For the long multi-pitch route (Loucos Mais Felizes), it can be approached by parking on the second hairpin bend on the pass. From there, scramble down the scree until down by the river. Cross the river and walk up to the base of the wall. Look for the bolts of the first pitch. It is advised to bring a machete as this is not a path used often and the vegetation grows quickly. The easier way down is abseiling.
